Russell chose to leave instead of staying, which means he values my opinion more!
Thinking of this, Rosalyn looked at Margaret victoriously, and her smile became even brighter.
"Oh? Repair the ship? What to do?" Russell asked.
In fact, Russell was unable to help with using magic circles to repair and reinforce the ship.
Russell had neither systematically studied magic circles nor understood and understood the various knowledge of this other world - there were always many subtle differences between Earth and the other world where supernatural powers existed.
So, Russell couldn't help in this matter.
"My Lord, leave this to Sister Rosalyn and me. Why don't you go to the fishing circle at the stern and use your cast net to catch some fish for dinner?"
Seeing Russell feeling a little embarrassed because he couldn't help, Margaret quickly came to his rescue and found other things for him to do.
When Rosalyn heard about food, she immediately agreed with interest, "Yes, yes, leave this to Sister Margaret and me. I want to eat lots of fish for dinner!"
"Since you, my lord, said that this island is not safe, then we will have dinner on the sea. Please rest assured that we will repair the Cornflower as soon as possible!" Margaret patted her turbulent chest and said confidently.
Russell noticed that Margaret and Rosaline changed the way they addressed each other and began to call each other "sisters."
But Russell didn't say much, just nodded and turned to walk towards the stern.
In fact, Russell had absolutely no desire to eat turnips anymore, so he was quite motivated to go fishing.
Russell subconsciously thought of the fried fresh fish.
The golden and crispy fish skin is cracked with beautiful cracks, and the fish meat is wrapped in a thin layer of crispness, with a rich and multi-layered taste. The aroma overflows with a bite.
The fish meat is soft and elastic, and it breaks easily with a slight pressure of the teeth. It is juicy and tender, and seems to melt in your mouth.
Thinking of his favorite delicacy and the sea fish that his wicked neighboring country had made him never dare to eat again, Russell couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
At least there's this benefit to traveling to another world, isn't there?
So Russell strode towards the stern, his steps filled with impatience.
065 The Devil's Remains
Russell walked quickly to the stern and picked up the hand-cast net impatiently. The preparation process of this fishing net looked quite simple, and it was woven together with coarse cloth and hemp bundles.
The usage of this net is very simple, and Russell can understand it at a glance.
He lifted the rope at the side of the net, swung his left arm back, and threw the net forward.
The fishing net drew a graceful arc in the sunlight, like a bird spreading its wings, flying towards the sea and soon covering an area of water.
Russell quickly pulled up the ropes on both sides, and the heavy stones under the net quickly pulled the fishing net into the water.
In an instant, the sea water was covered and the fish seemed to have no way to escape.
Russell then began to pull the fishing net upwards with all his strength. However, things did not go as smoothly as he had imagined. The strength of the fishing net made of coarse cloth and hemp was limited, and it soon broke under the struggle of the big fish.
On the sea, the fish that escaped death dived back into the water with a splash, looking very happy.
Russell looked helplessly at the broken fishing net and threw it on the deck.
It's a disgrace to fishermen! Even fishing with a net can bring up nothing!
Looking at the fish jumping out of the water happily, Russell felt like he was being laughed at, and veins bulged on his forehead.
I'm really losing my mind! Margaret is a seasick landlubber, and Rosalyn is a sorcerer who lives in seclusion.
When it comes to fishing, they are both complete novices. Why should I believe that the fishing nets they make can catch fish normally?
Russell reflected on this defeat in his heart. He had quickly gotten rid of his superstition about magic after coming to the other world.
Russell was completely attracted by the delicious fried fish at this moment.
So Russell took out his crossbow.
A fisherman never comes up empty-handed! A warrior must have his own unique fishing techniques! I absolutely must have fried fish today!
Russell took off the relatively strong hemp rope from the tattered fishing net, tied one end to the boat, and tied the other end firmly to the crossbow.
After trying to pull the hemp rope to make sure it was strong, Russell stuffed the crossbow arrow into the crossbow.
Aim and shoot.
The crossbow arrow flew out and mercilessly pierced a fat fish that was happily jumping out of the water.
Russell grabbed the hemp rope and swung it back hard. The big fish drew a perfect parabola in the air and was caught by Russell with a snap.
Very good, that's it! Keep up the good work!
Smelling the fishy smell, Russell smiled with satisfaction. He felt that he had finally experienced the charm of "fishing".
On the stern deck, Russell was happily fishing, while at the bow at the bottom, Margaret and Rosalyn, after completing the reinforcement of the overall structure, began to try to repair the cabin that was hit and leaking.
In the manual provided by Rosaline's uncle, the problem can be solved directly by using the shaping spell.
But Rosaline, who was now unable to use spells without going through the magic circle, naturally couldn't do this.
However, Rosalyn and Margaret still discussed a plan.
They first used a magic circle to pump a large amount of air into the cabin, squeezing the seawater out of the cabin.
After completing this step, use the magic circle to cool down urgently and seal the leaking areas of the cabin with ice.
Finally, draw a transformation circle on the ice surface to transform this layer of ice shell into a thick wooden board.
The plan was perfect, but how to use the magic circle to cool down became a huge problem.
The flame that Russell gave them had no difficulty in providing high temperature, but it was more troublesome to cool it down.
Margaret and Rosalyn were discussing and drawing magic circles while doing experiments. They were so dizzy from the discussion that they had no idea what was going on.
"Oh, if only there were some flame that could cool it down." Margaret sighed and said casually.
However, Margaret's casual remark reminded Rosaline.
Rosalyn slapped her forehead and said excitedly, "Do you remember that inky-black crystal that Russell brought back to the ship? Yes, that very cold crystal! It's said to be the remains of a demon centurion. We can try to use that crystal as the energy source for the magic circle to reduce the temperature."
They did it right away. The two of them excitedly ran to the deck to find Russell. After Russell nodded, they found the cabin that was emitting cold air. Then, they listened carefully to Russell's warnings, wrapped their hands with flames, and took away a crystal.
However, this crystal is difficult to use as a cooling energy source, and the magic circle cannot easily convert this crystal that is difficult to burn even with fire into energy.
"This crystal itself is very strong and cold. What if we combine it with ice and then use a transformation array to transform it directly into ship planks?" Margaret had a new idea.
This time the repair work went very smoothly. After draining the water from the cabin, they launched the crystal to the corresponding position. The leaking place was immediately frozen, and soon the ice became thick.
So Rosaline shivered as she opened the sealed wooden board and rushed into the cabin, enduring the cold and drawing the transformation circle, while Margaret simply used fire to keep her warm.
After drawing the magic circle, the two hurriedly left the cold cabin.
Rosaleen stood at a distance, warming herself with the flame; Margaret came over, and the warmth became double.
"Thank you, thank you!" Rosalyn's lips were blue and purple, and she was trembling constantly. She nodded to Margaret to express her gratitude.
After this kind of teamwork, the relationship between the two women eased a lot.
"You're welcome." Margaret smiled.
Margaret herself didn't feel cold at all. After thinking about it, she felt that Rosaline's psychological problems might be more than her physical problems.
Margaret tried to distract Rosalyn by asking, "How long would it take to transform all that ice into planks?"
"Well, I was worried that the cold crystal wouldn't be able to be transformed, so I made some special arrangements when drawing the magic circle. I'll transform ordinary ice first, and then slowly transform the crystal."
Rosalin looked much better after her attention was diverted, and she started talking about the magic circle.
"Ordinary ice will only take about an hour to transform. I will wait here during this time to prevent any accidents. As for the crystal stone——"
Rosalyn paused, clearly unsure.
Margaret nodded and offered, "Leave the crystal to me. I'll check it every day and input energy into the transformation array until it's transformed. Or, until we find a dock for the Cornflower."
"Well, thank you, Sister Margaret." Rosalyn knew that Margaret was taking the initiative to share her work, so she thanked her again with a grateful tone.
"Hahaha, you're welcome." Margaret felt that waiting for an hour was too boring, so she decided to chat with Rosalyn. "By the way, you set out alone on the Bluebonnet just to look for your father?"
"Yes, his name is Renatus Catisius. Do you have any news about him?" Rosalyn asked.
Margaret shook her head. "I'm sorry. I know nothing about you mages. This is the first time I've heard your father's name."
"Ahaha, it doesn't matter. This just means that Dad isn't as famous as the Vitolos people say." Rosalyn smiled.
Margaret jokingly said, "But, at first sight, you mistook my Lord for your father."
Rosalyn blushed. "Oh my god! Really? Stop teasing me! When I first saw him, I felt peace and joy in my heart, an indescribable warmth. So, I just thought of him as my dad!"
"Haha, I get it, I get it. When I first saw our Lord after being resurrected, my heart was also filled with reverence and admiration, and I felt a subconscious sense of closeness. I think this might be because the flame that gave us this second life is from the same source as our Lord."
"Huh? I thought you were going to say, 'This is the natural way for us to be close to our Lord'—" Rosalyn imitated Margaret's tone and said, but before she finished speaking, she giggled.
Because Margaret reached out to tickle Rosalyn: "Well, you actually made fun of me!"
After the two of them had been frolicking for a while, Margaret said seriously, "Don't worry, Rosalyn. I believe we will find your father successfully under the guidance of our Lord."
Rosalyn shook her head. "Even if I find the man who abandoned his wife and daughter, what good will it do? I wouldn't even recognize him..."
Rosalyn's expression was not as helpless as her words. There was longing in her eyes and a barely perceptible smile on her face.

While the two of them were chatting casually, the repair work was completed smoothly.
Rosalyn and Margaret examined the heavy cabin, which was in good condition, and were very satisfied.
Afterwards, Margaret learned from Rosaline how to use a magic circle to seal the cabin and turn it into a watertight compartment. After personally experimenting with it, the two ladies left the lower cabin with satisfaction and came to the deck.
At this time, Russell had already "caught" a lot of fish, but all of these fish had wounds pierced by crossbow arrows.
Rosalyn cheered, "Wow, so many fish! Hehehe, delicious fresh fish!"
Rosalyn ran over quickly and picked up a big fish. She looked like she was about to drool.
Margaret smiled and nodded to Russell: "My Lord, we have completely repaired the boat."
"You have repaired the boat? That's great! Why don't we go out to sea now?" Russell said with a relaxed brow.
Margaret asked in confusion, "Is it so urgent?"
"Well, I don't think this island is very safe. Just now, when I was fishing, I noticed those vague prying eyes again. I feel very bad."
Russell noticed something was wrong while he was "fishing". The feeling of being watched in the dark made his muscles tense up. He had to devote a lot of energy to guarding against possible sneak attacks. For this reason, he caught fewer fish.
Margaret nodded: "Okay, then I'll go drive the boat."
"Then I'll go to the kitchen to cook the fish!" Rosalyn cheered. She hurriedly picked up a few fish and ran to the kitchen.
"Hey! Don't be in a hurry, watch your step!" Russell shook his head. He looked at Rosaline who was secretly swallowing her saliva, and finally didn't say anything more.
Watching Margaret leave, Russell added, "By the way, that makeshift fishing net you made isn't working. The fish we attracted are probably too big, and when they hit the net, it broke. As a result, I can only use a crossbow to shoot the fish. The boat will be sailing soon, so let's turn off the fish-luring magic circle first."
"Yes, I understand, my lord. I will close it." Margaret nodded again, she also picked up a few fish and walked into the cabin.
Russell also picked up a few fish in the same way, and the two of them went to the kitchen first and put the fish down.
In the kitchen, Rosalyn had already happily lit the stove and started singing, and it looked like she couldn't wait to have a snack before dinner.
When she saw Russell and Margaret come in, her singing became softer involuntarily.
After Russell and Margaret put down the fish, Rosalyn began to see them off: "Okay, I've got the fish. Get out, get out quickly, and wait for me to show you my skills!"
It’s as if everyone knows that you want to eat it first.
Russell and Margaret left amused.
"Then I will go sailing too, my lord," said Margaret.
Russell nodded. "Well, thank you for your hard work. I'll also go get the remaining fish and bring it to the kitchen."
